Are there any alternatives for Indication (other than Ripple)? Any tutorials on how to create and old-school “selectable” solution with different colors?

Take a look at the default debug indication:

<https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/foundation/foundation/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/Indication.kt;l=147|https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]onMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/Indication.kt;l=147>

This solution works to give a consistent color to the Press-action. I would need to set the Pressed-color based on the the actual buttons background color. This could of course be achieved by creating different implementations of an Indication but a color-pick option would be better.

If you want something like that, then maybe you don’t want indication, and you just want the `Button` itself to change how it appears when pressed

You can do something like:
```val isPressed = interactionSource.collectIsPressedAsState()
val buttonBackgroundColor = if (isPressed) ... else ...```


`Indication` is more for a generic effect that is shown across clickable elements, not for per-component behavior or appearance changes
